Zemanta, the industry’s leading programmatic native advertising DSP, announced the next generation of Autopilot, the platform’s automation engine. Autopilot optimizes for the most optimal price possible to reach specific goals while hitting marketer’s daily budgets. Early testing results of the new Autopilot include 168x faster discovery phase, up to 2x lower average Cost-Per-Click (CPC), and up to 60% higher Click-Through Rate (CTR).

Autopilot is the core automation engine that powers Zemanta campaigns. Zemanta developed a sophisticated AI-based mechanism that quickly analyzes hundreds of campaign parameters faster than ever before. The next-generation Autopilot adjusts CPCs in real-time, to answer market fluctuations and find the optimal price for campaigns in less than an hour’s time.

We refined our technology to ensure all automated optimization sits under the new Autopilot.

“Outbrain acquired Zemanta three years ago after a rigorous evaluation of platforms in the ecosystem, with Zemanta not only the first but also the most advanced dedicated native DSP by some distance,” said David Kostman, co-CEO of Outbrain. “Three years on, Zemanta’s impact on programmatic native advertising and business results have comfortably exceeded our original forecasts. While industry rivals saw declines in their revenue, especially in the most recent quarter and despite incredibly difficult headwinds from COVID-19, Zemanta continued to grow – doubling year over year. We’re excited for the continued success and growth coming from Zemanta, including the debut of the next generation Autopilot.”
